Samoa vs. Namibia Preview & Tips
Samoa takes on Namibia in its first match of the 2011 Rugby World Cup on Wednesday.
Samoa vs. Namibia Trends Analysis
Samoa and Namibia have met just once in the past decade. Samoa won that encounter, played before the 2003 World Cup, 40-13.
Samoa has shown mixed form in 2011, winning two tests and losing two. Notably one of these wins was achieved against Australia, with the other victory coming against Japan. Samoa fared less well against its rival island nations, losing to Fiji and Tonga.
The Samoan backline has been in strong form throughout 2011, scoring 11 tries in four matches, including two 4 try hauls, and certainly looks capable of threading through the Namibian defence.
Namibia’s year isn’t going very well. The team has won just won one of its four matches this season, and began the 2011 Rugby World Cup with a heft 24 point loss to Fiji.
Namibia has scored just 7 goals in its last four matches – hardly the power it needs to put away Samoa on Wednesday.
Samoa vs. Namibia Betting Tips
